Answer:
The equator experiences equal day and night as the summer solstices has longest days in northern side and the winter has longest in the southern side.
Explanation:
- As the summer have the solstice period in the northern hemisphere, the areas in the north gets most of the heat and sun days as that of the southern hemisphere and the reverse is true for the winter solstices that has maximum day in the south and less in the northern hemisphere as sun rays don't pass the 66.5 degrees latitude.
Answer:
D. Solar radiation heats the asphalt; the air immediately above is heated through conduction; the warm air rises in free convection.
Explanation:
As the parking lot is exposed to the sun, on a sunny afternoon, we can consider that the sun is radiating with high intensity in this environment, causing the asphalt to be strongly heated. In this case, the air that comes in contact with the asphalt ends up being heated, because the heat of the asphalt is transmitted by the air through the process called conduction, which is the heat transmitted by the agitation of the molecules.
The heated air becomes less dense, that is, it becomes lighter and this causes it to rise, while the cold air is more dense and descends, coming into contact with hot asphalt and also heating up. In that case, a heat transfer called convection occurred.
For number 17, the city with the highest polulation density is Tokyo. Most of Japan's people live there.
